Anyone reccomended one. Dc is suffering with their eczema.
Currently using baby sensitive aldi but i think this is the cause of the skin flare up or at least not helping.
Thank you

My daughter gets on quite well with childs farm sunscreen. I think it's approved by the eczema society or something like that.

Alturist suncream on amazon is brilliant. Developed by a dermatologist. It was recommended to me when I had skin cancer and i use it on my children with no reactions.
I found they had skin rashes from lots of brands, especially in the high factors.

Interested in this thread?

I would also like to know as DD has come out in an awful itchy bumpy rash from Aldi baby sensitive suncream.

Avene works well on DDs skin.

Altruist here too, recommended by my immunologist.

Extensive (and expensive!) research has resulted in La Roche Posay as the winner here. Every single other one has aggravated dd's eczema. Although what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another, sadly, so it might just be a case of trial and error.

Also, the kids one is more expensive than the adult one, yet, exactly the same ingredients! So I just buy the adult one.

Another vote for altruist!!

Anthelios by la Roche Posay, or alternatively one by Avene,

When ds's eczema was very bad (ages 1-4) the only thing that worked if he was having a flare up was Ladival (which is ridiculously expensive!) If he wasn't mid flare up Ultrasun was also good. But yes different for everyone so trial and error is the way to go.

Mineral sunscreen all the way. I have bad allergies to chemical sunscreens so I use ultrasun mineral on body and a Korean mineral one on my face
